In the latest V-League transfer updates, Hoang Anh Gia Lai has successfully signed striker Jeferson Elias, one of the top scorers from last season with 13 goals. Elias, born in 1998, was a standout player for Hanoi Police FC in the previous campaign. He will wear the number 9 jersey for the Mountain City team.
According to Hoang Anh Gia Lai’s initial squad registration for the 2024/2025 V-League season, the team included three foreign players: Jairo Rodrigues, Marciel, and Baio Da Cunha Bruno Henrique. However, Bruno Baio has been dealing with health issues and has not yet arrived in Vietnam. As a result, the Pleiku-based team decided to bring in Jeferson as a replacement.
One of the most notable names on Hoang Anh Gia Lai’s squad list is young striker Tran Gia Bao. Born in 2008, Gia Bao has been registered to play in the 2024/2025 V-League season. He recently made headlines as part of the Vietnam U16 team that secured victories over U16 Japan and U16 Uzbekistan in a friendly tournament in China.
Speaking to vsn.com.vn, Vu Tien Thanh, Director of Hoang Anh Gia Lai Football Academy, stated that the club’s target for the 2024/2025 V-League season is to finish in the top six on the standings.
This latest acquisition of Jeferson Elias further strengthens Hoang Anh Gia Lai’s squad as they aim for a competitive finish in the upcoming season. The team’s blend of experienced players and emerging young talents promises an exciting season ahead.
